My immediate thought was "yes, we need this". My second thought was "can we make one for ourselves?".
I am sure for each success there is an article by a small local news source waiting there to be discovered. I think your post gave me inspiration to start digging.
Also, I am wondering if there should be a community on Lemmy dedicated to successes?
well, I mostly create SPAs, with big projects a type system is a necessity...
However, every potential metric we devise appears woefully inadequate in assessing this holistic outcome. Whether it's pull requests, lines of code, user stories, story points, or ship dates, it seems that every metric can be manipulated or gamed. Ship dates may be advanced, but quality suffers; story points morph in size depending on the project, and lines of code can be bulked up with a test suite. Even pull requests can be sliced and diced to skew the numbers. It's a frustrating conundrum.
IMO software engineering is a creative field that requires a vast amount of knowledge, neither can be measured effectively. Let's just stop trying to optimize creativity...
For example, would you pay a 3x more productive designer 3x the fully loaded cost of the average designer? If 10x engineers truly exist, why do pay scales intra company not cover a 10x spectrum?
I am a software engineer, I have literally forked tensorflow and modified the executor, and I have created neural networks for predicting aquaculture KPIs that have been deployed with great success.
I stopped looking for a year, and now I feel AI illiterate. (insert "too afraid to ask" meme)
My experience suggests it's too early to start teaching people. Let the technology do its loop and settle down.
It reminds me of the old town of Zurich, cars have no right to be ruining such historical landmarks...
Instructions unclear, my penis is stuck now
It may be a cultural barrier, but most people in my vicinity do not agree, they want more lanes...
Great idea!! I love how unnecessary it is, I will start doing it!!
Not really trying to make a change, I am just pissed.
To be honest, I never really had anything close to a scare. Children could be walking around, and thankfully drunk driving is not that common here.
I have probably seen too much NotJustBikes lately to say anything positive or constructive about car sharing and how it affects society.
It's nice to meet a fellow fan of NotJustBikes, them and AdamSomething have been pivotal for me. Sometimes I'm wondering if I am doing an Airbnb (aka trying to patch a broken system, making everything worse in the process). However, I truly believe transportation (both people and goods) is important, and the software supporting it should be open.
Wow, I took part on that challenge, I forgot all about it. Thanks for the suggestion, that's what I am doing this weekend.
I think social factors for car pooling are far bigger than route planning.
To be honest, I wouldn't trust an algorithm to decide with whom I ride. I would like to see a few people that match my schedule and route, and then individually inspect their profiles and make contact to arrange the trip details.
What would you expect from a service that matches people into car-pools?
I am a software engineer myself, I am interested in contributing. Is there a matrix group or something equivalent I can join?
